U.S. stocks moved modestly higher on Friday as technology shares recovered from recent weakness and investors watched Treasury yields for signs of the market’s next move. The tone remained cautious, with traders waiting for fresh economic data to test expectations for growth and inflation.

The rebound in tech helped support broader sentiment after a choppy stretch for the sector. Even so, gains were limited, reflecting the market’s reluctance to make aggressive bets before new readings on the economy arrive.

Treasury yields were little changed, easing one major source of pressure on equities. Stable borrowing costs can help steady valuation-sensitive sectors such as technology, which often move sharply when bond yields fluctuate.

Analysts said the session reflected a familiar pattern: investors are still willing to buy dips, but they are also keeping positions light ahead of key data releases. That balance has left Wall Street moving in narrow ranges as traders look for clearer direction.
